Paste the contents of the batch file here and we may be able to provide a context menu entry without the need for the batch file. No guarantees of course but, without the contents we can't be sure.

If that works for you then fine, however it will cause problems for others. Unfortunately those using a server based OS have an output containing, for example: Windows Server 2003 not your required: Windows 2003 Server

If your latest version is the one in your 'post but last' then I get this: Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 <snip /> Network Adapter: Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection - Packet Sched uler Miniport MAC Address: 00:0C:F1:EC:BF:2E DHCP Enabled: True IP Address: 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask: C:\Documents and Settings\root\Desktop\OSInfo.vbs(601, 13) Microsoft VBScript ru ntime error: Invalid use of Null: 'Join'Any ideas?

To try to help you with the parsing, as already requested by jaclaz, we really do need to see some output. For example, what is echo'd to the screen if you enter this at the 'command prompt'? For %# In ("%Date%") Do @Echo/[%~#] As a side note, you could use WMIC in a batch file. @Echo off & Setlocal Set "_=mon tues wed thurs fri sat sun" For /f %%# In ('WMIC Path Win32_LocalTime Get DayOfWeek^|Findstr [1-7]') Do ( Set DOW=%%#) For /f "tokens=%DOW%" %%# In ("%_%") Do Call %%#breakfast-rename.bat

First you need to start by writing the topmost section of the directive file. ECHO/.Set Cabinet=ON>MY.DDF ECHO/.Set Compress=ON>>MY.DDF etc.You can get the information you require from here. When you've done that, come back to us with some full file structures etc. for both the source and destinations.

Could you give us some more information, are you looking for a simple script solution? Where are the files you wish to compress are they all together and not mixed with other files? If you give us some paths etc. we should be able to give you a solution!

You can fix it by adding some parentheses in order to help the command interpreter understand exactly which bits belong where. @ECHO OFF FOR %%i IN (file1.ext file2.ext file3.ext) DO ( IF EXIST %%i ((IF NOT EXIST Folder MD Folder) & MOVE /Y %%i Folder))

You'll need to use a few more lines by implementing a 'For loop' Something like this should do: @Echo off & Setlocal & Set "P_=" If "%~1" Neq "" (If Exist "%~1" (If /I %~x1 Equ .lnk ( For /F "tokens=*" %%# In ('More "%~f1"^|Findstr ":\\."') Do ( Set "P_=%%~dp#")))) If Defined P_ (Set "P_=%P_:~,-1%" & Call Echo/%%P_%% & Ping -n 6 127.0.0.1>Nul)

The workstation service is on, (Automatic), by default. There's little chance of it being 'down occasionally' during an unattended install! If the Workstation service is disabled, a system cannot connect to shared file or print resources on a network. The following services, (which are required to access resources on a network and to perform domain authentication), depend on the Workstation service: Alerter Browser Messenger Net Logon RPC Locator The Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer will not function if the Workstation service is disabled. It is possible that other applications may also require the Workstation service. It is the decision of the reader here as to whether or not they disable a particualr service, (especially this early in the install). However, in doing so, they should understand that they may lose functionality required by something else; this is an example of that lost functionality. It is therefore up to that person to use a workaround; this could simply be checking for the running service in the first instance and if stopped, start it.

Can you not use a basic: if (Directory.Exists (f#))

I find it strange that you say that two of the installations worked, because all of the install lines within your file were incorrect due to spaces in the path names and a lack of supporting double-quotations, (with escapes) Here's an updated version: @CMDOW @ /HID SETLOCAL FOR %%# IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%#:\CD.txt (SET CDDRIVE=%%# & GOTO INSTALL) GOTO :EOF :INSTALL SET "KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx" REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Install Par Francis Gauthier" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Winrar 3.9" REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "\"%CDDRIVE%\Applications\Winrar 3.9\winrar-x64-390fr.exe\" /s" REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "0ffice 2003" REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "\"%CDDRIVE%\Applications\Office 2003\office2003sp3.exe\"" REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Adobe 9.2" REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "\"%CDDRIVE%\Applications\Adobe 9.2\AdbeRdr920_fr_FR.exe\" /sAll /rs /l /msi\"/qb-! /norestart ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES\"" REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Flash player" REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "\"%CDDRIVE%\Applications\Flash player\flashaio.exe\"" REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "Java 6 update 17 x64" REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "\"%CDDRIVE%\Applications\Java 6 update 17 x64\jre-6u17-windows-i586-s.exe\" /s /v\"/qn IEXPLORER=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL UPDATE=0\"" REG ADD %KEY%\070 /VE /D "K-lite 544" REG ADD %KEY%\070 /V 1 /D "\"%CDDRIVE%\Applications\K-lite 544\klcp_standard_unattended.bat\"" REG ADD %KEY%\150 /VE /D "CD Burner XP" REG ADD %KEY%\150 /V 1 /D "\"%CDDRIVE%\Applications\Cd burner xp\cdbxp_setup_4.2.7.1801.exe\" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-" REG ADD %KEY%\999 /VE /D "AVG 9.0" REG ADD %KEY%\999 /V 1 /D "\"%CDDRIVE%\Applications\AVG 9.0\avg_free_stf_eu_90_704a1756.exe\" /hide /no_welcome /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_SafeSurf /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_SafeSearch" Please note I've corrected only for coding errors, I've not looked at your switches etc.

I had the "3 days" reminder on one of my XP machines in the last week. All that happened was that I updated the BIOS then reset it to optimized defaults and changed the boot device order back to how it was. I just activated it online which worked immediately and without problem, but I've gotta say that I wasn't happy that a BIOS update caused Windows to report a significant hardware change.

First things first if you are unable to access the boot menu then you should be able to use your XP installation disk and do a repair without having to reinstall XP. You need to make sure that you are burning your ISOs correctly on suitable quality media and at an appropriate speed. Using the VM as suggested by cluberti, and firstly mounting the ISO to see how it installs, then repeating that with your burned DVD will go some way to ruling out the bad burn scenario. You could then try typing the result of those tests in your next response without using expletives.

It's usual practice to verify your download using its 'file hash', these are provided in order for you to ensure that your download is not corrupted. That said there's also the likelihood that you're having this problem due to a hardware conflict during the installation. In order to minimize this it may be worth checking that your system would be capable of running the new OS, the best way to do that is to use the upgrade advisor. I'd also suggest that it would be prudent to install one OS along side the other so that you're not faced with an alternative OS reinstall in the event of problems during the installation of the new one.In all cases it appears that the problems from which you are suffering are of your own doing not Microsoft's

I cannot tell you exactly what the problem is, however to run a Unix application in Windows 7 I'd expect you to be using it through a Linux API emulation layer such as Cygwin. However, as far as I'm aware Windows 7 is only supported in the current beta testing version of Cygwin. You are therefore running a beta version of Mutt, which isn't even the most recent version (heavily fixed), through a beta version of your emulation software and getting errors. I'd suggest that you try to redirect the questions through the beta test channels of your application software.

Before this conversation escalates to the point of no return, please be aware thatArgumentative comments are unlikely to help you get responses You're not going to get a response to a question about the registry settings in Windows Vista within a Topic about third party software within the Windows 7 Forum.

@unawave - Do you think that this multi-page topic about 3rd party software is here because there's a simple registry key to provide that same functionality? Which part of, they no longer share the same code base, suggests to you that a simple registry key change will help you to switch between the new Start Menu and one which no longer exists?

Moving to a more appropriate location! Of course, regardless of location, I'm unsure whether limiting your request to people with 'same sex' partners is wise.

You initial mistake is in posting your question to an inappropriate location.We have Forum sections specifically for both 'driver inclusion' and 'nLite' and exercising a little more care in your selection of them will improve your chances of receiving appropriate responses. Topic Moved.

@Molecule, what you've done is dangle your argumentative carrot in the hope that we'll bite; If you wish to discuss your theory then please provide us with yours. That way this Topic is less likely to be construed as potential flame bait and more of informative dialogue. First of all you need to start by wiping the slate clean and forgetting about DOS. Once you achieved that you could perhaps try to explain to us why you believe that Software|Patches installed by a User Level Administrator account are any different from those installed under the System Level Administrator account.

Open a Command Prompt and type echo/%comspec% to reveal what it is! Of course you can edit it, (it's your file and you have control over it), however unless your Install directory is in a different location, then I wouldn't suggest that doing so is at the top of your todo list!

What about not bothering writing a cleanup.cmd file then and just running the line directly from RunOnceEx. example section of runonceex.cmd Reg add %KEY%\095 /ve /d "Cleaning Up" Reg add %KEY%\095 /v 1 /d "%%comspec%% /c @rd/s/q %systemdrive%\install"
